You can uncheck files in the Downloads column.

  • If the torrent has a folder structure, you can check and uncheck whole folders too.
  • If some but not all files appear, perhaps the torrent has a folder structure and not all folders are expanded. You can expand them with the + icon to the left of the folder name.
  • If not files appear at all, you probably added the torrent via magnet link and it hasn't retrieved any tracking information yet. Tracking information has to be received in order for any data transfer between you and other peers, so once anything begins downloading, the files will appear and can be unchecked.
